[PSES] Made in PRC or Made in China?

2012-06-13 Thread Carpentier Kristiaan
Import of a product in Saudi-Arabia is not possible because on the product label is printed made in PRC and while the certification body claims it must be made in China. Is there any reason why PRC (People's Republic of China) is not acceptable? Best regards,  Kris Carpentier -

Hi Kris , Not sure whether you will sell it to China or Saudi-Arabia. If it's for China, I believe it should be printed in Simplified Chinese:中国制造 Paul Wang -邮件原件- 发件人: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] 代表 Carpentier Kristiaan 发送时间: 2012年6月13日 17:04 收件人: EMC-PSTC 主题: Made in

According to several SGS and UL publications, which I cannot send because of copyright, Saudi Arabia does not allow abbreviations for country of origin on product label. Reference was Saudi Law of Commercial Data, No. M/5-14 Rabi' II 1423H. We make some of our stuff in TJ, and their import people

[PSES] Test lab for testing power equipment at high altitude

2012-06-13 Thread Jim Eichner
Hi everyone: We are investigating the availability of a facility in which we can qualify some higher power (500-1000kW) inverters for operation at altitudes above their 2000m design value - the higher the better but at least 3000m, preferably 4000m or 5000m. We would consider labs that are

Wow, I am impressed. Do you also have to hi-pot at 5km? I remember that Dayton Brown has a 10x20 chamber, but am not certain if they have the power you need. Labs that do RTCA tests typically do the explosive decompression by evac to much larger chamber, so they may have the volume. Perhaps the
